[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can tell you’re a really caring parent, and you’ve tried many many things.

The fact that she is still struggling is not your fault. she may have underlying personality conditions that are going to make this tougher to tackle. The fact that she is still engaging in this behavior as almost an adult suggests that this could be the case.

Absolutely you should keep on working on it and offering her strategies and resources. But I would tell her, if you do this at a job you will be fired. If you do this in another relationship, you will be rejected. You’re almost an adult and it’s time that you learn to navigate the real world.

And then I’d just leave it. Because you’ve done everything you can you’ve done your job. The rest is up to her.

And I don’t know how to split the difference on this, but the fine line between validating a person struggles and enabling their dependence is very hard to navigate. And frankly many therapy approaches are going to make it worse. [/quote]
